For me, a lot of it is, and that's why, look, I believe in innovation, and I believe in trying to solve big intractable problems, and I think technology can be a big part of that.
What you do want is for it to not live in a place of nihilism.

I don't think every tech oligarch is like that.
And I think that we should probably be careful about not sort of lumping in everybody together because I think there are people who are like, actually, there are responsible ways to do this.
And like, what are the ways that you could regulate this?

And look, again, it doesn't all have to be social good, but it does have to be with like, I don't know, some sense of responsibility to the health of the country.
